Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Books can illuminate creativity and can be a child's most imaginative plaything.

The goal for this project is to reinforce what the students have learned; for students to make connections on how forces work, as well as understand and practice basic social and emotional skills.

These books were chosen because they align with the STEM themes and will further motivate students to engage with activities.

The donations to this project will provide examples of real-life situations, manufacturing, energy, aerospace, lots of diversity, and concrete examples as they create their own extraordinary projects.
